I was just reading an article in the New York Times entitled "Several States Forbid Abortion After 20 Weeks". As the title denotes, it concerns a variety
of state laws which make it illegal to perform an abortion on a woman who
has reached her twentieth week of pregnancy, unless it is to save her life,
or to prevent "serious physical impairment of a major bodily function", or
to avoid the death of the fetus itself. These new 20-week anti-abortion laws
-- which began being passed last year, and which are now present in
Nebraska, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma and Alabama, with other states to follow next year -- do not make exceptions for rape or incest.

The central argument which has been used to legalize these new abortion
limits is fetal pain; that is, the belief that developing fetuses can feel
pain beginning at twenty weeks of age; and thus, performing an abortion
after that point is both cold-hearted and immoral.

Naturally, being the liberal newspaper that it is, the New York Times adopts the position that anti-abortionists have gone too far, and attempts to cast doubt on the belief that fetuses can actually feel pain at twenty weeks of
age, by quoting from a few medical sources.

As I clearly point out in my eight-part series "Abortion: Slaughter of the Innocent", it is my personal belief that, if anything, enough still hasn't
been done to stop the murderous, greedy abortion butchers and the
hardhearted, unloving, selfish, irresponsible women and couples who unnecessarily undergo this ungodly procedure. And, lest you have forgotten,
we are talking about approximately 1.2 million annual abortions in the USA alone.

How God must weep!

Thus far, abortionists have been very cautious concerning initiating legal challenges to these new 20-week laws, but that is only because they are
still gathering their weaponry and formulating a plan. They will no doubt attack these new laws sooner or later.
